Thanks Mark, I will check carefully, although I have run the script...

Yes, but the swbst regulator share the same define type with the vsnvs regulator, and the later voltage table is not linear, so I use volt_table in swbst regulator . I don't want to  add another regulator type for this.

Yes, it will simplifies the code, but sometimes we will not use all the regulators on boards, in this case, Is it better that only register the available regulators?

everyone of the four regulators(SW2~SW4) has two different linear voltage table which decided by the specific bit(one regulator ,one different bit) . So  will modify the voltage table dynamically before regulator register. I think this way is more simple , although looks little weird and uncomfortable.
